Okay, Yes, I've listened to you since I was like five years old, and oh I hated.

Now that puts a lot of pressure on me, Katie, that puts a lot of pressure on it.

Let's do it.

I always wanted to play music, but I love you and I trust you, and my friend wanted.

Me to call you. Huh, what's going on?

Actually he said, who's the person in charge of the radio station? I said, what are you talking about? He said, the guy? The guy he talked about, And I said, Tom Martine.

He's not doing too well and he wants to do the death with dignity and he's at Denver Health right now and nobody what is his condition, Katie, Well, he's on hospice. He's in stage heart failure. And he was on a morphine drip and everything like that. But he's gone real

To try to put on is he on medicaid.

In Denver Health Medicaid? He thought he was on regular Medicaid, but apparently it's Denver Health. I don't know what that means.

It means it's great coverage. Denver Health does a great joke anyway.

So are you saying he wants to die pretty much? I mean, are they not listening to him?

There's no place for him. I have no place to take him, and I have no medication for him, and I'm this caretaker, but.

I just right now though he's at Denver General right now, yes, sir, And he is in hospice care within Denver General.

He was Denver Hospice, Yeah he was, but then he had a stroke and a seizure.

And okay, God, now he's okay. So he was in Denver Hospice then got transferred to General Denver General. Okay, Yes, and you know where is he gonna go? Where's he gonna go? Now?

I have a good question.

Wait, wait, wait, who's talking? Is he is somebody on the phone with you?

I'm on the phone with you, guys.

Oh sorry, that's my patient. Yeah, that's Clinton. He's the one that needs to care.

That's Clinton. Clinton. You're on the phone right now? Clinton? Are you You're at Denver General right now?

Yeah?

They don't want to pick up put me anywhere?

Yeah, nobody can help him. No, I would sink he wants by dignity, which.

Wait a minute, knew nothing about. Can he go back to Denver Hospice?

No, No, won't take him back.

Why won't they take him back?

He called his arm Lietnam, and he called and they said, okay, go to the emergency room be seen. He had a stroke and a seizure in the emergency room. And now they won't take him back and nobody will take him. Was he actually anywhere?

Was he.

Was he actually in the place? Was he actually hostice?

I was on actual hospice.

He was on hospice. But yeah, he wasn't impatient just yet. They gave him his medication and stuff like that. But yeah, he wasn't impatient, but now nobody will take him. He has no bed anywhere, he has no medications, and everybody says, well, help will help, will help, and nobody will help. There's nothing he wants to do. Death with dignity. Uh huh. Denver General participates in and you got to have two

So what is the plan for him right now?

I have no plans. That's why I'm calling you.

And you're are you actually a healthcare worker, Katie?

No? No, I just I met him three months ago. He has no friends or family or anything. And I met him a couple of months ago, and I'm his caretaker, but I'm not.

And how'd you how'd you meet him?

Meet?

Yeah?

Uh at a respect care. I was just seen at a hospital. I had some medical conditions and uh so I was in a respect care and he was in a respect care and that's how we met. But he was much better two months ago. And now he's gone real downhill, real fast, and he's kind of bluffed all hope, and I don't know what to do.

I mean, there's a patient advocate. There's a patient advocate at Denver General. Did you talk to the patient? Did you talk to the patient advocate?

No? I guess I can call I thought a social worker and a case manager?

And does he have a does he have a case manager?

Not particularly? No?

And when you said a case manager, who would you talk to.

The earlier today a social worker called and said, you know, there's a couple of barriers he can't get in. He can't get in, and.

A couple barriers where he can't get in where.

Anywhere? Any hospice, any bed, any anywhere? And I have no place?

Do you have a medication?

And do you have you have the right to talk? I mean, excuse me you they talk to you about it with hippa, right, they have no problem talking to you, right?

Yeah, No, I'm his power of attorney and caretaker. Yeah.

Can I give you the number for the advocate? I think wait a minute, never mind, wait wait, wait, hold on, what's that? Hold on one second, I'm trying to find the advocate themselves. I had it, but you need we need to help. Have someone help you? Is Deputy doc on today?

I'm sorry, I want to see if Tom and studio I think your note doc, if.

She's got what I don't understand, they don't know. Yeah, hey, Doc, do they have do they allow people to die? I know this sounds weird. Do they allow people to take a more fiend drip and die?

I'm not I'm not sure that euthanasia is still is legitimate in Colorado?

But right now the other.

Day because he was so frustrated, But yes.

I think you're right on the first step is let's talk to the You gotta call and talk specifically.

Yeah, let's have you called.

You have to call Denver Health and ask for the patient advocate. Now Deputy doc will oversee this and get Deputy Doc will give you steps to do and then oh good, okay, Now Clinton, Clinton, are you still there?

Yeah?

Clinton, what do you want? What do you want to do? I want to die, So you would like right now to just pass away? And is that where you were heading with Denver Hospice before this stroke?

Yeah?

I already knew.

That I was a goner.

Where were you getting hospice at home or were you actually at Denver Hospice?

I was at the respite home when I was on when I was.

On hospice, Okay, that was. That's over you. You were right in their facility.

No, I was not in the facility yet, I was.

You were at home. Helped me out? What home, Katie?

Where was he was at? It's what is it California or South Street or something?

Okay, in respite care? Okay? Where was he before that?

Uh?

He's from Nebraska. He came out here for a heart surgery and then they told him his heart was too weak and it's at five percent and he was too weak to help the heart surgery, so they canceled that and they put him in a resk at home, and that's where he was, and Denver Hostas was bringing him nice for glycerine and more.

I get it, I get it. So they were keeping him comfortable. But then he had the stroke and was transferred to Denver. Yes, yes, and Denver Health they won't take now, Denver Health says. Denver Health says, the immediate danger is gone and now he needs to leave, but there's nowhere to put him.

Pretty much.

Yeah, okay, hold on, hey, deputy doc. Yeah, let's make some real let let's let's do some calls here. This is a terrible situation, all right. You know what?

Text me the number for the patient advocate, and we'll love it through a conversation with me, Katie and the advocate.

Yeah, it's the general number. Doc. Okay, they say they'll transfer you. They don't, They don't. It's six. It's three oh three six zero two twenty nine point fifteen six zero two twenty nine fifteen. Listen, we have a lot to talk about. Hang in. Uh, we'll see what we can do, Katie. Three o three seven to one three eight two five five. Go with a sure thing Denver's best roofer Excel Roofing dot com. You don't pay a cent until you're contenth time for an insurance check up free,

Yeah, I went to a bitcoin ATM.

He went, oh a bitco hold on. It was a bitcoin ATM.

It was a bit a Beena bitcoin ATM. It was located inside of a wine and spirit store.

Now what was the hold on? What was he deposited? Was he buying forty two thousand dollars in bitcoin derivative?

He was not on? On two separate occasions, who have instructed by someone who to be an employee of Wills Fargo to go and withdraw funds from his big accounts to secure them. And he took he went into the branch to withdraw the funds and was instructed to go put them into the ATM because that's where they would be sticking.

So how did he get this phone call? Did he contact someone?

He contacted? Initially he contacted Microsoft because he got to pop up on his computer saying that Donald it was contaminated. Then they have his information, so then they caught.

So then did they call him or did they email them about going to a machine? It was over the phone, and then he believed him, and so he took forty two thousand in cash.

He took twenty thousand on one day, twenty thousand on a different day. The two thousand dollars was actually gift cards that they asked him to purchase and provide.

It be And he never talked to you about it or anything. He just went ahead and did it.

Did not, Yes, my mom is the one that actually contacted me about it.

So he went to a store and this machine is where you normally buy bitcoins? Is that correct?

Now? I have no idea what you do with the bitcoin.

What's the name of the bitcoin machine?

It's Athena Bitcoin Athena.

It did.

And you know, I actually found a similar article and I emailed it to the.

Email that you have.

Yeah, an elderly woman that happened to in Ohio.

Yeah, it's happening all over the country. What's happening is do you know about it? Dimitri?

Oh?

Yeah, it's a super common scam.

People will implant to pop up on your computer claiming that they're from Microsoft.

It's almost always from Microsoft.

And then they tell you that you have to deposit money into some ATM machine and that's it.

That's the last thing you'll see of that money.

Yeah. And then when you deposited into that machine, it went to that other person's account.

Yes, I'm assuming so he said he was given a QR code, a QR code to you. So my best assumption is that it's deposited into whoever, whoever's account like QR code least two.

Hey, Tom, Yes, sir, so I was at the liquor store yesterday where this ATM.

Yeah, because Mark took the call and you went out looked at it.

I did, And what did you find? Well, it looks like a normal ATM. There's it says bitcoin and Athena is the company that manages it. There's a when you walk up to the screen, there's a it looks like it's a red stop sign, and it goes through all these disclosures about this is bitcoin, these transactions are non refundable.

And what does it talk about? Like what do you mean, like, so is the machine for buying bitpoint? Yes it is, that's the only So was he did he have to put Like if you want to put money into their doc I mean, excuse me a dollar. If you want to put money into there, do you have to buy something or does it just like if you just want to deposit money, Hanna, was he given instructions on where to deposit it? Like what to put in the How

Well, yeah, actually, I mean right, I mean it must I'm like fifty bucks, but yeah, there's a slot.

Did you put your cash in?

But for what I mean when you shop at the store, you don't wait a minute. When you shop at the store, you don't pan that machine. What is the purpose of that machine?

It's the purpose of the machine is for business owners to track customers into their shop and looking at their website.

It sounds like.

Okay, but to attract him into their shop for the purpose of what bitcoin?

Yeah, the consumer buys bitcoins, yes, through this athena service. Yes, and then the consumer transfers that bitcoin to whoever has scammed him out of that bitcoin.

But he did all of that how did he do that? He doesn't know what the hell he's doing. Do you know, Hannah, what do you know what steps he took? Did they give him instructions on what to do? You don't just walk up to a machine, even if it's a scam and start pumping twenty grand into it, you know, I'm sure you have to enter a pin or you have to enter an account number. What's that?

Yeah, he told me he had a QR code. He may have had maybe a different number into imputation.

Then he did okay, then he had information and they said go to this machine. They must have said go to this machine and do this, this, and this.

That would be my guess. Yes, I Hannah, the.

Bad news is here. These are unregulated. I mean, I know we should all be outrageding we are, but he, in essence gave his money away. I know it's terrible, but he gave his money away. I don't even know who you go after.

And Tom, you know, at some point national law enforcement has to look at Athena and services like that because they're used on a regular basis to facilitate criminal transactions.

Tom.

I looked at their website.

There's probably one hundred and fifty of these Athena Bitcoin ATMs around Denver, just Denver.

Yeah, they're a real company, but they're used by a vast international criminal network.

Well, of course they are. We've heard of doutless cases where people deposit money and they're screwed.

And they must know it.

They must consciously, in my opinion, operate this network in part to support the criminal enterprises.

So what Even the business owner mentioned something about scam. He was his foreign It was a little difficult to understand his English. But I did catch scam and he claims he didn't know much about the machine other than oh he.

Knows they pay a rental to him for placing the machine rental store.

Yeah, but it's not that guy's fault with the machine. The machine is probably legit.

The machine is legit.

But why would people buy bitcoin there and not online and transfer money by ach?

Well that you're talking about a relatively unsophisticated consumer who sent forty grand to someone purporting to be for Microsoft.

Man, you don't want to hear this, Hannah, But honest to god, I mean, who have you contacted so far? And doc? Do you think the consumer finance protection bro? I don't think they'll do anything unless you unless they can trace down these account numbers that he has. But we need absolutely everything he entered into that machine. Can you get it to us?

But Tom, the good and the bad of bitcoin is that it's untraceable. So that's one of the big selling points of bitcoin is that the government or anyone else has no way to get into your bitcoin account.

And it's totally confidential. But if you lose the.

Address of your wallet or whoever else you identify your deposit, it's anonymous, and that's the good and a band of it.

So he transferred it, but he must have been given instructions how to transfer it. Therefore we will have that track that trace right, Yeah, we'll have that part of it.

Does he have a receipt? Does your stepfather have a receipt of the transaction?

Yes, he has a receipt, he has I believe, text messages, there's things that he has.

Well, can you gather, Hannah? Can we can't gather that? Can you gather all of it? The QR code, the text messages, do screenshots, the receipt? Can you get us at least that stuff?

Yes?

I can try, I Yes, I can try.

Well, Okay, I mean try and let us know, because if you can, there's nothing we can do. That's certainly we can't do anything. But if we get that information, at least maybe we go to the FBI or somebody or start somewhere. I mean, it's wire fraud technically, Oh yeah, you.

Have to find out whom the law enforcement could even charge with wire fraud?

Isn't it secret service whoever?

They're not gonna find West Camber being fraud and wirefraud.

Yeah, but they're not going to be. But the whole bunch of doesn't matter what it is. If we can't trace it, it's Hannah Germ is the only one that can trace it. You said he had a QR code.

Yes, that's what he told me. I mean we have the Can I talk to him?

Can I speak to him?

There's a language barrier, so it'll be kind of difficult for you to get their information out of him. So I'm so.

How did they how did they convey to him? Did they speak to him in his language his language?

No, they were speaking to him in English. But I think he has grown to be self flustered by the situation that he's he's not necessarily able to just communicate clearly exactly what happened. So it's it's I can get that information from him and see what else I can gather. As far as evidence goes, I know he has he has receiveds, he has text messages, he has paperwork that

All right, let's just see what we can find out. This is this sucks, This is terrible. This really is terrible. So uh just hold on and dollar. You went to the you went to the place, you saw the machine.

Can you grab a couple of pictures of it as well?

Can you grab can you grab this stuff from her, all of this information. Let's just see if we can make a trail here. Of course, I mean, I don't know what we can do. Was this is like how much of the money did he take out?

What was that?

How much money did he take out?

He took twenty thousand from one bank and twenty.

Thousand I mean what I mean is what percentage of his life?

That was their entire savings?

Oh God, does he understand that? I mean that he might have lost it? Forever he does.

And have you have you contacted the FBI?

No, I I've contacted. I submitted police report with a Royal TV. I submitted or report with the Federal Trade Commission. I haven't contacted the FBI. I'm willing to.

Well if that.

Could be the only people that have jurisdiction, the police department and the Federal Trade Commission are are not the ones you should be contacting. And the FBI is the one that that you need to get in touch with and give them all the information.

Okay, Wow, Well.

That that machine that Deputy Dollar went to see, that's amazing to me. It's just amazing because there are so many disclaimers on it.

Wow.

Three o three seven to one three eight two five five. We listen, we have to take a break, get that information gathered. Let's see what we can find. This certainly is sad.

The Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martine, Hello Tom Martino here three all three seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five. I'm gonna go back to calls, but first I need to uh talk to someone because this has been killing me. This new documentary is online, by the way, issues me on the streaming, and it is about John Benet Ramsey, and it is about the I guess The new documentary, apparently, the documentarian said, had

Past hens or wounds all.

Now Peter is on the hotline and he's cutting in and out. That's not me, Shannon. So just so you know, anyway, Peter, here's what I want to know. Was there new new DNA back when you were talking? Did anyone know about this new DNA? When did it come to light?

There is a substance that was found in this little girl's underwear. The boner PD went was far back to the factories inside of the people's Republic of China to try and sense where any of this comes from. First of all, let me say this, and I say it every time I end up having to come by the way I got here. I'm at emic today. I'm find a new little pickup truck. And okay, got a guy, guy Tom Martin, with a good guy.

Okay, cool. Now, see Peter just worked himself into a discount. I think, Okay, go ahead, I think I did.

But I remember this and the jury in the end of it. Alex Hunter was the district attorney, and Alex Hunter chose not to We never knew one way or the other what to do with the outcome of the grand jury that they said no indictment. And I remember, well, I'm standing in the Justice Department parking lot with Heeraldo Rivera,

Okay, Peter, here's what I don't understand. The new DNA. John Ramsey says, if they run it through the directories, the ancestries and all the stuff we have nowadays, they might be able to find someone was their DNA they could not identify. You said they went back to China. What was their conclusion on that DNA.

Let me tell you something. Anything that comes out of John Ramsey's mouth. John Ramsey twice a year sheds his skin Mommy, anything that comes out of that man's mouth, Okay, dismiss it, just dismiss it a face value.

Here's what I don't understand. They never address either those those ransom notes that were found. I mean, even if there was other DNA, why would the wife sit down and practice some ransom notes.

Of course she did, and of course the ransom note is very clear if we so much and see, the cops will kill her. First thing Passy does calls the cops. First thing the cops do is pulling them in a black and white. Now, I got to know a lot of murder squads, and we got to la a lot of FBI people. They have television repair trucks. They have you know, backup saint trucks that look like legitimate. These are what they drive to the house to go in. These were two black and whites. And remember this too,

Well, did you see the entire documentary? I haven't seen it yet.

No, I told you. I just I'm doing what I get mad about. I am criticizing a book I haven't read. I will not watch this. I received a phone call from somebody who asked me to be in and I said, no, this is not a who done it? This case is dissolved.

Why are you so convinced of it because of the grand jury leak that you heard through this guy?

No, Temmy, I lived this thing. We lived it together. You were. I was doing mornings. I mean, there was nothing about this case. And one time someone said to me, I think it was Roaldo. He said, Peter, what would you like to know? And I said, I'd like to know what Patsy Ramsey's dreams are about at night. I think the devil comes and dances in her dreams. Other than that, I don't know what game John Ramsey plays, except he plays the well.

He reserved about every year he comes out and resurfaces the thing.

I tell you what the grand jury member who spoke with Charlie Brennan said, we we collectively the grand jury wanted to indict them both for the murder of that little girl. And I got a twenty dollars bet and I haven't seen the series. That does not appear in the series.

Well, yeah, they're going to say, well, you don't know that to be true. That could be a rumor. Charlie Brennan could have Brennon.

Charlie Brennan is irreputable. Remember the book Perfect Murdered, Perfect Town. Charlie was a co author of that book. Charlie worked at the Rocky. Charlie's a hell of a reporter.

Okay, I'm gonna I'm going to ask you something. And then if they did want to indict, why wasn't Why why weren't they indicted?

That's a question for Alex hunder is Uh.

I thought, if there was a vote against or foreign excuse me, a vote for indictment, does the DA have the power not to do it? Of course you think so. I didn't know that I thought when you wu paneled the grand jury, I didn't know a DA had that choice.

No, they had everybody, and they Tommy, they looked and they looked at evidence and spoke with people that even as close as I got to this case, I never got to see. They saw everything everything.

You know. It's just you don't call it a mystery. I call it a mystery, But you don't.

Call it a mystery, Tommy, don't call it a mystery.

It's not. And you think they're covering. You think they were covering for the sun. You think that one documentary had it right.

I know.

I don't believe they were covering it for their son. I believe that she's a rager. I believe that she went downstairs. The striking weapon is the flashlights that they found on the counter. That the batteries have been wiped off. Somebody took that thing apart and wiped even the batteries off that night. The whole barrel the flashlight's been wiped clean, is sitting there next to a three and a half page ransom note of practice notes. No Burt Ramsey's who

Well, Peter, like I said, no one was as close to it as you were. But I'm just shocked that you're not going to at least watch the documentary.

No, I don't think so. I haven't watched the alan Berg movie either.

I wasn't even aware that that one had come out yet.

It's called The Order, and it's it's not even close.

So and Peter, Peter, speaking about alan Berg, you remember our lunches together and our conversations. I mean, you're right, most people have no clue what he was about.

Far better yet what happened. I'm in this idea of this semi retard FBI agent up an Idaho who really gets on to Bob Matthews, Tommy. It never happened, Yeah, it never happened.

You know, the thing with the thing with Alan was just an ordinary I mean, it was a hate crime. They just wanted to it was, that's all it was.

And I mean there's no marking in the city, there's nothing for him. We finally got him into the Hall of Fame, but I mean there's we have Omar Jah. We have Dick Connor, we have Bruce Randolph, we have all these different different places rightfully so named after these significant significant people. There's nothing that Mark Sallenberg, you know.

And the funny thing I found with Alan and this is not a putdown, but a lot of the stuff he did he didn't really care that much about. I mean, he was an entertainer.

It wasn't like the.

Number two and number ten. That's exactly what he was.

Yeah. In other words, he wasn't like the pundits of today who are carrying the water for peace people or he didn't care. He did what it took to get a rise out of people. Did you get that right? I mean he didn't. He didn't have an agenda.

I watched him for six years, my best friend for six years. He was a professional wrestler.

That's exactly Okay. It couldn't have been put better.

No, true, he was.

But today but today I don't get the impression today that the talk show hosts. I believe that they are really sold out and are and have an agenda as opposed to going on saying how can I stir this crap up? Today?

It's over?

Yeah, now, well, some some would argue that having a real agenda and a real passion is better than just being a showman.

You have to take that up with somebody else, because I my view of what we do for a living is quite different than that.

I know. I remember Peter, Peter listen man, I mean you and I talked about it. There is a blend of entertainment and information, there is a blend, but you what to do? What's that?

He knew how to make people mad. He knew how to get to the to the center of it. You know, there's the reason, by the way that a lot of people didn't take on the Ramsey case was intricate. It took hard work, right there was I mean, Danny Kaplis, did you know there's very few people that wanted to go near it? And now suddenly with this I get two calls a day about this ridiculous Ramsey trilogy that's being shown on Netflix. Had to be a change in themselves. They really should be well.

You?

Uh?

You mentioned that you had a friend that lost fifty grand the same way.

Basically, that's correct.

The the caller basically kept her not basically kept her on the phone the entire time, told her she was not allowed to disclose what was going on because it might thwart the plan of the irs freezing all of her assets. Hatter liquidate a little over fifty thousand dollars in cash, she had to go to multiple different branches of her bank to do so, and then proceeded to send her to downtown Denver somewhere to a bitcoin machine and see that machine the fund So.

It just was.

Once.

Once it happened, she realized what had taken place and that she was scammed.

Did any authorities make any attempt to do anything for her?

No, you can report it with the FBI, but it's the chances of the funds being recovered are so slimmed because it is bitcoin, and the the enmity behind it is so so large that they they couldn't track it down.

God, that is so sad. Oh my god. Fifty thousand, fifty thousand.

And then they called back a few days later and said, well, we've got your savings account safe, so now we need to work on getting your checking account safe.

Well and during that time, but now when they called back, that was before they realized it was a scam, right.

No, it was after So at that point she had she she she.

They should have used they should have used the second call to find these people and lure them in. They should have worked with authorities, right.

Yeah, it's always twenty twenty.

But so what did they just hang up on them the second time?

Yeah?

Well, when she started telling them that, how how basically much of a stumbad day were for depleting her savings account. The guy hung up, But you know, a very educated woman. They just I've in the financial industry and I've been to multiple seminars on fraud and detection, and it is one of the things that these scammers do is they get you in a heightened sense of emergency and that you have to act now and if you don't, you're going to lose everything. And they don't give you time

Well, you're right, they get them scared, panicked. Thank you, don I appreciate the information. This is terrible. I don't think she's going to be able to do anything either. Anyway. I want to bring up a divorce attorney. I think he's retired now. He's a friend of Deputy d and I appreciate him coming up because we had a very complicated case the other day. We've been trying to get a hold of her because we wanted to give her this information. But I can relate it to her, but

Twenty in mostly Jefferson, in Park County and also in Denver.

So you don't do divorce anymore?

I don't. I am happily married because I'm happily retired.

Okay, Now, I've never heard of a default judgment in a divorce where if you don't show up, the other party wins, no matter how ridiculous they might ask for things. I mean, this woman, Jessica claimed. She's in Illinois. She says she was an alcoholic kicked out of her house by her husband, and then he filed for divorce, but then he got a default judgment. Have you heard of a default judgment? She said she didn't show up because he threatened her. But I don't want to go back

No, Tom, and your instincts are right on. There really is no such thing as a default judgment in a family law matter. What generally happens if a client, or should say, okay, litigant does not show up is that the court will in her orders without regard to what evidence she may or may not have been able to put on, so on and so forth. But I would stop short. Tom was saying that the court will basically grant anything, even to the ridiculous extreme, simply because the

Okay, if you have a standing child visitation that she has. She had problems, obviously, but the courts gave her visitation, not custody, and the husband is withholding visitation, and he claims and the guardian at Leidam says it's in the best interest of the children. Can they just do that without modifying the order?

Typically no, No. Let me just say this. If your given orders, as Dad was here, you don't have to follow them to the t. The courts understand parties generally in most cases will modify that by their own behavior and not necessarily formally. However, if there's a dispute, the bottom line is the orders have to be followed, but you can't, as Jessica seems to have done, just sit on those rights without asking them to be enforced. So

It's yeah, I'm sure there's way more to it than we're hearing. But if in fact they was not modified and the ex husband is refusing visitation, what does she do if she wants to enforce it?

Yeah, and that's an excellent question that goes right to the heart of it. First of all, let me let me talk about dad for a moment. If Dad wanted to change the parenting time schedule or any allocation of rental responsibilities here, whether it's parenting time or decision making, it was incumbent upon him to seek that relief from

It's not Illinois, got it, that's right.

I would be shocked if Illinois didn't follow most of the general principles that we follow here in Colorado. But there may be some procedural differences that Jessica needs to be aware of, and I'm sure she'll figure that out. But what I would recommend to my clients sitting across my desk to do in this situation is file a motion to enforce parenting time or decision making or whatever

Okay.

The likely outcome of that, and if I'm going if I'm skipping ahead too fast.

On to now that's what I want. I want you to go ahead.

Yeah, The likely outcome of that is the court's going to review her motion, which is going to be very simple. Hey, he hasn't followed it. These are the orders, they've never been changed. He hasn't followed it. I want them followed. Uh, that's it, very very bare bombs. What that does is it requires him now to respond, and that's where you're going to see all of his arguments why that modification or I should say, why that enforcement is not in

All right, but you don't get to decide that on your own. That's the bottom line.

That's right, Yeah, that is the bottom line. However, the acquiescence of the party to something different really does serve as a sort of de facto new paradigm.

In other words, right, it's right if she sits on her rights or if she doesn't do anything to enforce.

Them exactly exactly. Let me give you a quick example. Parents are ordered fifty to fifty parenting time, fifty to fifty decision making. They have to make the major decisions about the children jointly. Ten years go by. Ten years go by, and it's completely changed. Mom hasn't seen the kids maybe once or twice a week, has taken no part in decision making. And now as asking the court to go back ten years and enforce the old orders which are now stale, the court is not going to

Okay, I, that's that's the.

Way it is.

Well, I gotta take this break. Here's here when I give her the message though, basically she needs to make a motion to have this enforced, is what you're saying, and then he has to fight it.

That's right, right, And Tom, I can't rush you. I've got a course hearing here on a on another matter that I need to just sort of look in on.

Uh.

Can we can sing in this conversation?

Absolutely right? All right? Thank you for weighing in on this, and we'll talk to her and I'll get back to you. I need to take this break, and I'm Tom Martine more coming right up.

Yeah, they were a good company. I mean they they came off the referral list and stopped advertising years ago because they started making this product. As I rememb they started making the product. Well the reason was we didn't have a problem with them, but they started manufacturing under other people's labels. I don't but I didn't realize did they still keep them doing their own products? Yeah? I see on the website they do Panasalife dot com.

The Shoot is gonna help.

Come Dix is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martine, Okay, Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three all three seven one three talks seven one three, eight two five five. Here to help you solve problems, to answer questions, to take complaints, make your life a little easier. I have doctor Joel Schirdac with me. He is with Denver Regen dot com. A number of products we talk about from time to time and things that I think you need

Way you did.

You can eat what you want. You just simply take way less to feel satisfied. That is the most amazing thing. It is not as if you are thinking, oh man, I wish I could eat, or it makes you sick, or you don't want or it's artificial in any way. To me, many times dieting is artificial. Let me explain what I mean by that. You eat less, but you crave more. With this, you eat less and crave less. That's correct. It's so it's not artificial. It's in line with what you want.

So you agree with that, Yeah, Well, what it is is it's the the U. It's a peptide compound. So the drug itself is naturally occurring. And what it does is it mimics your body's own chemical that tells your brain that you're full.

Both semaglutide enters appetite.

Both of them work the same way, okay, And so you feel.

Like you would if you ate and you were you feel great. Okay. So when people say they want to wait, they don't have to. In other words, you can go through the holidays and have a wonderful time and partake of food and and you know balanced and and and and you're still gonna lose weight. You're without even thinking about it. And then you to wait to put on extra weight and then wait and then do it all at once and then try to do some crash dieting after the first to me, is stupid. This is the

Yes, absolutely, And now you know, heading into the holidays would be the best time to start for those thinking about it, because what it's going to allow you to do is to enjoy yourself during the holiday exactly normally without putting on the weight.

That's not going to overeat. You're not going to. But here's the important thing. A lot of people enjoy food, and they almost think of this as they're not going to be able to enjoy food, and that is the biggest misconception. You still enjoy everything exactly the same, you just don't need as much. And I think what it did for me and what it did for many people I know, is it tell It shows you visually what you truly do need and what you don't need, because most people eat too much.

Right.

One of the biggest things that patients tell me when they're reporting about the improvements that they made is they tell me that they don't binge eat.

Anymore, that's right. And they're comfort eat.

Or you know, eat midnight snacks just out of habit, that's right. So I don't hear anybody complaining. You know, I used to enjoy food. Now I don't enjoy food anymore. It's I don't you never hear that I don't mindlessly eat, and I don't mind.

This ringe food we use many times as a comfort drug. Okay, And I don't mean you know what I mean. Now here's what I also mean. You truly can eat faster than your body can register it, so you're you're over full and eat too much when really you haven't had a chance to absorb the nutrients or the sugars. And if and if we could all eat slower and wait for our bodies to register what we eat, we would eat less. But we don't. We don't. We're all in a hurry. No one does it, No one does it.

If I had to sum it up that, I think that's accurate. That's what people report that they experience now that they just feel full faster now.

And I've also said this, the drug industries, the pharmaceutical companies do not like that compounding pharmacies figure out in a hurry that you don't need their brand name. This is I don't know how that happened, by the way, usually there's patents and stuff. I don't know how this happened that the compounding industry found out, Wait a minute,

Well, I'll get into it and I'll try to make it brief.

Yeah, yeah, why did that happen? Normally you can't do that with drugs.

Originally, that happened because there was a shortage of these drugs. Originally that happens there was a shortage of these drugs, and so what happens is that when there's a shortage of a necessary drug, the FDA suspends the patents on those drugs.

So that's what.

Initially happened is sir zeppatite and some agleetide, you know, ozempic and mogovi and those drugs were just in such short supply because of demand the compounding pharmacies needed to make up that. Okay, Now what's happened since is they're starting to catch up with the demand.

But what they're not able to do.

Is provide these drugs in specific, personalized tailored dosages. They only have standard dosages of certain amounts. So you know, if you're somebody and we recommend for you that you take a dosage that's not what their standard dosage is for what govi or zempic, then you're allowed under FDA rules to supply that medication under medical necessity another sem.

Are you still allowed to though, because they're no longer in short supply right or are they we're still allowed to We just have to Well, right now, they're still in short supply.

Shortly, I believe they'll be coming off of this short supply.

When they come off the short supply, Will people still be able to get your reduced price a compounded substances.

Yes, as long as there's a medical necessity and we have to document that.

Oh that's okay, your doctor did that anyway, and we do that for all of our payer. Your doctor used to call me when I was on this stuff once a week to see exactly what I was doing and if I needed it right, you know.

And a simple example of a medical necessity can be something like those branded names have preservatives in them in order to make their shelf life like a year. If you are somebody who does not want to take a drug that has preservatives in it, that's a medical necessity to have a company.

Or what if your borderline diabetic can can't afford.

The other No, not being able to afford it is not a medical necessity, okay, But most people would prefer their drug not to have preservatives in it. That is a medical necessity for a compounding without preserves.

That's just one example. But the fact that you need it for blood sugar or for losing weight is not a medical necessity. Or would they say, now you've got to go to the brand and they would say, now you need to go to the Oh, so it has to be more than just your desire to lose weight. We have to document a reason why. In other words, you have to document why are you using the compounded formula versus the brand name.

And one of those reasons can be as simple as I don't want preservatives, right, I get it. Another one can be that the standard dosage is supplied and the branded names don't meet our doctor's recommendation for what how many units I should be taking per week, which happens all the time because we don't do a cookie cutter treatment of every single patient. We give every patient direction on how many units there's going to get you them.

I get that right then.

And there is a medical necessity because the branded drugs don't come in those increments.

All right, I got to take a break, three of three, seven to one to three talk people. We're taking calls on any and all problems, questions, complains, whatever it is. I want to tell you about renew Home innovations. They have the most extraordinary shower conversions. And I don't say this enough what I love about them. These stone walls look like stone with zero maintenance. Their stone resins as glass panels in the front. They have no fog glass.

About Okay this if you'll recall that call.

Uh.

Hannah called in on October twenty ninth. She has the person that put in red Diesel diesel fuel into her car. Yes, so when she incurred about almost three thousand dollars damage to the engine, made several calls up to this Sinclair dealership up there on six forty US Highway two eighty five.

But how did the nozzle did we ever reconcile?

How?

Yeah, there were photos of it.

There were like two or three red handles and then then a green handle on the same pump and everything said diesel on it.

Yeah, in the handle are actually smaller and it's designed for farmers or agriculture.

So wait a minute, So you are telling me that it wasn't a bigger nozzle like everyone said.

No, this nozzle, which this no, this small red nozzle, but it's clearly mark we're deaf might know it would.

What you're saying is it absolutely would fit into a regular car.

Yes, they admitted it.

Okay, Now, since then the Sinclair Station on up there and fair Play did upgrade the signage on the pump, and I think they did do something to the nozzles. They're in the future because they think they've had they've had other people do this, put this red diesel in their car. But they stepped up and the Sinclair Station paid for Hannah to get a new engine a twenty nine dollars.

No, no, no.

Problems, no argument, They just said they we want to take care of it.

That was a good thing. That is very good. Okay, So tell me what does that mean, Like, what are they going to actually pay for?

Uh?

Well, Hannah, by putting this red diesel in her fuel, ruined her engine or caused at least three thousand dollars damaged to it. So Hannah got the engine repaired.

They're not They're not paying for that art.

Yes they are.

You kidding me.

They are paying for her to get a new engine.

I needed. I needed to get that dinger out, Okay, go ahead.

And I don't think they really needed to. It was clearly marked. It was a different I mean, I mean, I don't know. I don't know why. Maybe it was late at night. Maybe she had a few beers. I don't know. I mean, I just don't know how she could have done it. But the nozzles did fit into her into her tank. But they stepped up and paid for her repair bill, no questions asked. Wow, I thought that was very good and people should patronize the DNS Sinclair station and fair play.

I went.

I thought they went above and beyond the call of duty to help Pan out with the engine repair.

That's that is super duper pooper. Scoopa. Thank you so much, Nan, Do you have anything else?

I'm working on the the chat that called in the other day and the desertif gets out in Utah, he's having problems again.

That was that was a crazy one.

That is interesting.

I called the mortuary and that's all he wants, is it, deseraday. But I told him to go to the county corner.

Okay.

I did call the county corner.

And if I recall, his problem is that he paid it for it from the the the people, so that he wanted it from It doesn't matter if you can get it from the corner and it be it a lot easier that way, but he paid for it from them, so he wants it from them.

Well, this is interesting. In Utah.

I called the martuary, and I called the medical examiner. Apparently in Utah you have to have a valid Sourcis Security number on a desertific certificate. That's why it's being delayed. So I'm following up with the medical examiner as to why they need a Social Security number on a death certificate, Okay, because I think that's ridiculous. All right, so you're dead, you're not paying taxes anymore.

Of course receiving social Security. I'm working on that, all right.

I appreciate it.

Man.

So here's the deal we got. We got a lot of people doing a lot of things for you. And if you need help or you want to know what's going on with the case and how we're following it up, let us know.

Now.

Let me ask Deputy D you working on anything, brother?

Yeah.

So the most recent case is the one of Bernadette who's apartment got flooded out in a really gross way a couple of weeks ago.

So I spoke with her and she is on her.

Way over to meet with the apartment management right now, and with with a list of demands such as an alternative apart.

Well, first of all, they got to sanitize and clean it, and they they oweer for her personal belongings to they did management at least respond though they sounded reasonable or what?

No, she well, when she and I got off the phone, she was about to head over there because she hasn't had this conversation. So she's going to call me back and tell me how that went. Because there are three issues and she may need help on one between zero and three of them. So we'll have an update on that a little bit later this afternoon.

But the one that's really weird is that electric bicycle.

Remember a couple of days ago, this lady called because somebody made a fraudulent charge to her card bought a seven thousand yeah so, and they said it wasn't fraud Well her bank, Wells Fargo, said that I saw the letter that they sent her, and it was a very brief, curt letter, says our investor. I'm paraphrasing, but Wells Fargo determined through their so called investigation that this was not

Card that I charged in too.

And these people just handed over a seven thousand dollars product to a complete stranger.

Really and usually the okay, And so the insurance says, we don't care what our own doc says. We're denying it.

And then.

They told me that they would, you know, talk to me about it and see if they could work with stuff. But then two days after turning in the paperwork, I got a letter and had a meeting with my managers and they told me, well, we can't. We're not going to work with your accommodations anymore. And okay, they put me on an unpaid in volunteer.

What is your attorney telling you about this?

They're just they've told me to well, my company gave me the number for their medical leaves company.

No I'm not asking that, No, no, no, no, no, I I do I want to know about like your attorney telling you about all of this?

Uh, there's.

They're saying. You're saying, you know that it's a it's a difficult case because there is no obvious points of injury like Hernie is. I guess are difficult. But he's hoping that the that this motion will get things started, you know, So what.

Are you calling us about what can we do for you? Phil? I think you're doing everything correctly. I think you're going to have an uphill battle, you know if the video shows nothing. But were you covered by video the whole time?

I don't know. I've never I've never seen the video. I requested the video several times and my company said we won't give it to you because we don't want it to go out on YouTube. And they said, well, the only way that we'll provide it is if you give us a court order, and we haven't gotten to that.

But you even said you didn't have aha moment. See, whenever I was injured in the past, I had a oh god moment, but you didn't have one.

Yeah, there was no like, yeah I couldn't. It wasn't when I was like lifting something I really felt. It was just like it was really uncomfortable for a bit, and then it just continued to get worse. And then yeah, toward the end of my shift was like unbearable. Then so then I reported it started the process.

So and then so what do you want do you want a second? Do you want us to call one of our people, tell me what you want me to do? Because I mean really Okay.

So so at this point, I'm I've been working with the leaves people trying to get a medical leave, and the doctor says that I need, you know, need a surgery in order to get the hernia fixed. But waiting to schedule a surgery until we can get the workman's comp insurance to change.

Uh.

And the the the leave company wants a specific date of when you know when the leave would be over.

Well you don't know that, see, because you're not taking it for leave, you're taking it for for an injury. That's weird. You're in a strange situation at this point. If I were you, now this motion was filed when?

So this motion was filed, get nowhere beginning of November and the well, it's also weird because the the deadline for the insurance.

Just tell me, just tell me when was it? When was it filed? And then because you're gonna have to wait at least thirty days? When was it filed?

Uh?

Oh, I got to look at that here.

I believe it was like November fourth or something.

Yeah, okay, you have a while to wait, Okay. In other words, it's too soon to do anything. If you want a second opinion, I would call Cliff Enton Enton Law three. Let me give you that number.

I uh have with us in the studio a guest, but I welcome your calls for anything or any follow ups. And there's some things I want to talk about that just blow my mind. And maybe you can help me. Maybe you can help me.

Now?

I've always said that AI is a search machine that takes the results and organizes them and regurgitates them to you in a way you can understand it, right, But how does it do that? Think about that? I mean, does that amaze anyone? Does that amaze anyone? Because it certainly amazes me. So, okay, I got a lot of technical friends on uh you know, I mean, I got a lot of friends on YouTube that the tech tech guys are on there.

I know they are.

They're they're nerds and on on my downloads. And please tell me how does AI know that? I couldn't find it anywhere in the literature, I couldn't find it online. I couldn't find it anywhere where does AI search? Does anyone really know AI? I mean, I know that we all think we do. Just like we think we understand bitcoins, we don't most of us don't. We just understand what in general it is, but we don't really understand blockchains, not really. I mean I know that an accumulation of

I don't think many companies are sending out owners manuals with their equipment anymore anyway, So you just got to go online to their PDF and do that anywhere.

That's what I meant when I say owners manuell, that's what I met. I mean, I mean online, Pete. I don't have a paper book anywhere except on the shelves to look good. I actually never have cracked a book in years. I have what do I use this books app, and I have everything on there. But in any case, you're right. You go on, you get the PDF, you look at it, or the QR code. You go to the PDF and you can search the PDF. You know, PDFs are very cool. So I have a video camera.

So I'll just be impressed on I can sit back and say, uh, Beamer, give me an earld gray tea like captain, Uh.

What's the name? Because you're doing thought track.

Well, you're thinking star Treking Bones was the one that talked to the computer mostly, didn't he or who no, no, not Bones. He was the doc who talked to the computer and would yell at it, you know, and it was it was a captain now he would say, get me. It was anyway, it was one of these idiots. Here's what I want to say, the owner's manuals nowadays you don't need you need something that talks like for example, why wouldn't you be able to have that built into

Yeah?

I have my history here, and okay, my garment in my helicopter. I needed to upgrade the database, update the database and the firmware. Now I didn't look at garment. I could, but it takes forever to find what you need. So I just said, I just literally asked a question and it told me exactly. Okay. I even asked this, why does my MacBook pro disutilities default to blah blah blah, and and it tells you does the lock button on the SD card prevent it? Whatever? I ask it? Stuff Pepe.

Do you use it?

Joel? Do you use AI at all? You don't?

Huh.

You seem like a technical guy. I don't know why you would do you do you?

I use search engines a lot, but I've never used it.

Okay, I'll come. I just asked my ex wife. She knows everything.

Yeah, that's true. Well she left you that she knew enough to do that. Here's the thing I want to tell you, though. Search engines are fine, but they're not even close, not even close to what AI can do. So you know, I know that a lot of a lot of issues. A lot of people have, you know, the moral issues with AI. I have none right now, because it's how you use it that makes it moral or immoral. And I've asked it questions that I didn't think it would answer me. I asked about cheating on something,

Times.

Tom Martino, you're troubleshooter three oh three seven one three talks seven one three eight two five five. So what I'd like to know is how far do you think AI will go did you know okay? One used as uh Ai? So which one? If so?

Okay?

Yeah? The AI app? Somebody asks the one I look, and I've tried them all okay, and the Google isn't bad. The Gemini right now that I'm gonna trial with, but it bugs you. Gemini bugs you, meaning it's all over your computer. So when you start writing something, it says, can I clean this up for you?

And all that.

I like chat GPT four, Oh that's the one I'm subscribe to. Now you can get it on your phone and talk to it, or you get it on your computer and you type into it. But that's what I use. Now they're coming out with AI, well, not coming out there, it's out AI people who answer your phones. They're chatbots, not typed chatbots, but verbal chapa and and I think or I had some examples of them. But they're so incredible, incredible they blow your mind. They can actually make outbound

It really was.

Because I wasn't talking to a per and it was reacting in real time to what I was saying. Now again, I hope I'm not sounding like some guy who just saw, you know, there's a flying machine. I don't mean to sound like that, but certainly a lot of people they really can't not be mystified by this damn thing, you know. They can't. They can't not be all right, I got a text. They want to know about semiglutide or truepetite. Tom, you talk about both, why do they harry both? Isn't

Well, Tur's eppetite is more expensive. It's also a more specific drug, so it has less side effects. Although both drugs have very limited side effects, but truzeppetite seems to be a little bit cleaner. People have less side effects, people lose weight a little bit faster on it. Some people prefer that drug. Also, patients that require higher dosages of some meglotide, it's cheaper for them to switch over to There's appetite because it's a stronger so.

You can use less of that for the same effect of the semaglutide. Right, some people only need a little bit of some semiglutide. Other people need so much that it just makes more sense for them to switch to Tur's appetite, which is a more powerful drug. Okay. Now, as far as length of time for weight, somebody asks how long does it usually take? And I don't even know what to say on that, because it depends on

Yeah, I would say, as a rule with I'm about thirty percent of body weight in about three months god.

And a week to feel it. Yeah, And then, like I said, you feel no different. You just don't eat as much and you're it's almost I don't even know how it worked, honest to god. You know, years and years and years ago. I was really fat years ago. Okay, I was two twenty five actually, and my doctor had me this was unhealthy back at the time. This was in another time. You remember Fenn Finn.

Yeah.

Anyway, there are still some clinics that prescribeugh fetter me that prescribe basically amphetamine.

So unhealthy. But and jittery and artificial is what I mean. This is so natural you don't even feel it working. You don't even mix your body's own hormone exactly, so you don't know you're even on anything at all. You don't know anything. You just know that you're not eating as much. Now someone else wants to know how oh, how long do people usually go on it like? Or hold on? Here's another one we both about time. One is do you do you require a contract? So tell

No.

That's one of the unique things about my clinic that you don't get with these online clinics that are national or some of these other clinics is we don't have people sign committing to multi month contracts with us. You go on as you need to, and you go off as you need to. We have patients that are on maintenance dosages in perpetuity. We have patients that go on for a couple months at a time and then go off and then come back to us, you know a few months later, and just use it as needed to

You know.

One thing that I pride myself in in our clinic in is that we treat each patient individually. So whatever your goals are, we're able to tailor our treatment protocol to fit what it is that you want. So we're not locking you into a year's worth of care. We're not locking you into a certain medication one or the other or a certain dosage. We work with you to get to where you need to go. You know, we start with a small dosage and we ramp that up

Your doctor's grace. I love it.

Hey, Charlen, you want to talk about your twenty thirteen Hyundai. What's happening with it?

Well, what happened with it is in May, at the beginning of May of this year, I drove my car from my house to my bank, and on the way from the bank, I was coming home, the check engine night came on. Huh so I'm really close to THENDAI, their foundation Hyundai, and I drove it in there and they told me that I couldn't drive it any further because of the check engine.

Okay? So I left it there and then I think it was like I think it was two weeks. They called and said they had the diagnosis. Gun, I'm sorry and they and of course I made you five years old. Oh my daughter was there when they did that.

And they said, so did you leave your car there, Shirlene?

Yes, I did. It was there for two weeks.

Okay.

They told us what was wrong with it and what it was doing when I was driving it is that it would be really stroll and then it would kind of catch up and then I could, you know, to go faster. Well, we got it. My daughter's son in law is a mechanic. He worked for Mercedes, so we figured that he could take care of what all that stuff was.

Okay, wait, Charlene, Charlene, you said they kept it for two weeks. Yes, did they work on it? Did you ask them to fix it? No? Then why was it Wait, I'm I'm a little confused. Why did you have it there for two weeks If they weren't working on it.

They needed it therefore to do the diagnosis?

Okay, that was just for the diagnosis. Yes, And what did they say the diagnosis.

Was, well, they said that there was You know, my brain doesn't remember all this stuff. I do have paperwork for all of it. But they said that there was certain things that needed to be replaced, a coil of some sort.

Okay, how much was all this going to cost you?

I think it was four thousand dollars.

Four thousand dollars, yes, okay, and you decided I'm going to let my son in law do it.

Right, My daughter bought all the parks and he started taking it apart and replacing things. And when as he's doing this, he sees that the engine is blown. So he put everything, He took every all the new stuff out of it, put the old stuff back in, and my son in law put it on a trader and hauled it into Hyundai.

Well it's not their fault necessarily, is it.

Well?

What happened after the car got hauled back into Hyundai?

You know?

Surelean, I want to back up. You were having problems with this. The engine light came on and they had it for two weeks. Okay, do you think they blew your engine?

No?

No, that was already done.

Okay, but wow, okay, I get it. So he saw that the engine was. He said, the engine was blown and he said take it back to Hyundai? Is that right?

Yes?

And that's what my son in law did.

He how many miles on this car? And he how many miles on this car?

Shirleen, forty three thousand?

And what?

Yes, you shouldn't have a blown engine with forty three thousand miles on it?

Definitely not. So there was there was quite a lot of you know, I would call him, I'd say is the car done yet? And of course at that time then they called it.

You know, what did your son in law say was wrong with the engine? What did he say? Did he say? How he knew it was blown? And what he meant by that?

My son in law I got her husband knew it because I guess I'm not I don't remember exactly what it was, but he said you could see that it was bold. So then he, like I said, they took it back.

All right? Are you trying to get the dealer to fix it right now? Is that where we're at right now?

It's been fixed. I finally got it back.

YEA.

Well, let's get to the park that you're calling about then, because we're going through a whole story. I'm not sure. I need to know so right now they fixed it.

Yes, they said the engine the new engine were sixteen thousand dollars.

That's about right.

Okay. So I got with Sunday and they agreed that I would only have to pay eighty percent.

That's I'm sorry, that's what I would That's wonderful.

But I didn't get the car rap and turn I remember, and I didn't get allowed as September.

But I don't like Shirlene on. Shirlene, forgive me, and I respect your age. Trust me. I'm not that far away. I need to ask you a question, dear. What are you calling about?

So far?

It sounds like you're being treated pretty well. What are you calling about?

Just the fact that it took him so long?

Oh my god. And they're paying for eighty percent of an engine on a thirteen year old car.

I think your call should have been to compliment Hundi for paying eighty percent of after twelve years.

Oh my god. What a phenomenal service on the part of Hyundai.

Yeah, okay, I mean, oh no, no, listen, Shirlene. I don't want you to feel bad. I think I think you did you really get a brand new engine.

Yes, and apparently the engines and that all of the car I was just one year out of that. You know, warranty.

No, I know that.

I know that they didn't have to pay anything. I'm still curious. I'm still curious as to why the engine blew.

You don't have no idea. Oh I talked to someone there and they said, sometimes that just happens. And you know, I guess that could be an answer.

I'm telling you the truth, Okay, Shirlene. I have no allegiance to Hyundai or I don't even know what dealer we're talking about. What dealer is it?

Foundation Founding?

I have no allegiance to any of those. And I'm telling you, Shirlene, if you if you got a brand new engine and Hyundai paid eighty percent of it and you only had forty three thousand miles on the body, you have a new car.

Oh, yes, yes, I have a new car because I have a new engine.

How much go Oh my goodness, listen, Shirlene, I don't think I could. What were you hoping we would say to you, Well.

You're pretty much taken care of what I wanted to find out. I just needed to find out if if I was being if I were treated right, I.

Think you were, Charlene. But it reminds me of a story. It really reminds me a story. Whether this woman is out in the ocean with her son and he's a little boy, and he was swimming and the waves took him away, the big giant tidal wave took them away, and she looks up to God and says, God, how can you do this to me? How could you do this? You took my only son. And all of a sudden God restores the boy. He comes, He comes, floating back,
